dc.description.abstractThe study is a perception study. It examines public perception on the involvement of EFCC in aiding and perpetrating cyber offenses, and the study seeks to; determine factors that influence the involvemen EFCC in cybercrime in Nigeria and determines whether EFCC effort in curbing cybercrime has enhanc accountability in Nigeria. Relaying on social conflict theory, the study utilizes both qualitative and quantitative research methods. For qualitative data, 36 participants (12 each from the University of llarie Kwara State Polytechnic, and Kwara State University) were purposively selected for an In-depth interview While the content analysis was used to analyzed qualitative data, frequency and percentage table were for quantitative data, and some variables were also measured through the 2Likert scale. The staty therefore, reveals that most of the EFCC officials are already diving into the same corruption they are fighting. They go after suspects threatening to arrest them except if they can 'sort (bribe) them. Some EFCC officials also dine and wine with cybercriminals because of the fear of being assassinated. Therefore, sk study recommends that any EFCC official caught aiding or involving in cybercrime should be expelled and made to face the law publicly. EFCC should emphasize periodic training and re-orientation of her staff wi their duties as prescribed by the Nigerian constitution. Officers of the EFCC should also be provided with modern technology and adequate security to discharge their duties without the fear of being assassinated
